South African homophobia story features across Africa

The Big Issue Malawi's republication

A story about the difficulties faced by gay asylum seekers in South Africa shocked readers in other African countries.

South Africa may have the most progressive constitution to protect sexual orientation in Arica, but gay asylum seekers' dreams of freedom often turn into nightmares when they discover the yawning chasm between the liberal ideals of South Africa's Constitution and harsh reality.

The Big Issue Malawi published the feature story, which was originally published by colleague paper The Big Issue South Africa.
